How is a Chimney Sweep Performed?
Specialized brushes are used to remove creosote and soot from the firebox, smoke shelf, elbows, and connector pipes. This is done from both outside and inside the house. Occasionally, there is creosote buildup that cannot be removed by brushing. Professional chimney sweeps may use chemicals to alter the composition of the hardened creosote and turn it into a powdery substance that can be easily removed. Chimney Sweep Master guarantees a dust-free cleaning every time.
